The Health Ministry is advising of a voluntary recall of an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat meat products containing Coppa.

It says these may be under processed and may have resulted in possible contamination with foodborne pathogens.

Foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella or Listeria can cause symptoms including diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 6 hours to 6 days after eating the contaminated product.

The recall was issued by Fratelli Beretta USA, Incorporated.

The products subject to the recall display the establishment number “EST. M47967 or M7543B” inside the USDA mark of inspection or in inkjet print on the front of the package.

The Ministry advises that the products have been imported and are sold locally.

The local distributor, All Italian, has been contacted to immediately remove the items from all points of sale.

The Ministry is also urging persons who may be in possession of these recalled products to discontinue use immediately and to return the product to the place of purchase where possible.
